Season 3 of A Series of Unfortunate Events will return to Netflix on January 1st, 2019. This will be the final season for the series based on a book series by Lemony Snicket (played by Patrick Warburton). The role of Count Olaf is played by Neil Patrick Harris.

The teaser below shows Count Olaf and Lemony Snicket hinting that the show’s end is near. “Now, after so many misleading appearances, brilliant performances, gratuitous fires, fortunate coincidences and dreary weather conditions, all will be revealed — the fate of the Baudelaires, and the truth behind the letters ‘VFD’.”

Back in March, Harris told TVLine that it was “always the plan to do [just] three seasons, which I really liked. It makes me feel like we’re doing a specific piece of art, as opposed to just hoping that the zeitgeist holds us up for as many seasons as people can stomach.”
